How can Naturopathy help with…
Fibromyalgia & chronic pain
Chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia are complex and often arise from multiple interconnected factors.
Pain may be driven or intensified by:
- inflammation
- neuroendocrine dysfunction
- chronic infections
- chemical toxicity
- nutritional deficiencies
- psychosocial stressors
- existing comorbidities
- autoimmune disease
- gut microflora imbalance
- genetic predispositions
A naturopathic approach explores and addresses these contributing factors for each individual patient – as they are different from person to person.
Using evidence-informed practices such as herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation, tailored dietary strategies, and lifestyle guidance, naturopathy works to gently rebalance, rebuild, and repair the systems involved in chronic pain.
Breast Implant Illness (BII)
Breast Implant Illness (BII) comprises a range of symptoms some individuals experience after receiving breast implants.
Symptoms may include:
- chronic fatigue
- joint or muscle pain
- “brain fog”
- anxiety and mood instability
- skin rashes
- digestive issues
- menstrual cycle changes
Whilst the exact causes are still being researched, it is thought that immune system reactions, inflammation, and toxicity related to implants may play a role.
A naturopathic approach focuses on supporting the body’s natural ability to detoxify, rebalance, and heal. Testing may help to uncover heavy metal toxicity, gut dysfunction, problems with detoxification and much more.
An individualised plan may involve nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, lifestyle guidance, and gentle detoxification support before and after implant removal (explant surgery).
This approach helps those with BII to regain energy, reduce pain and inflammation and feel more clear-headed.
Perimenopause & Menopause
The way in which a woman experiences the menopausal transition can be influenced greatly by her overall health including:
- previous hormonal conditions
- metabolic health status
- gut health
- thyroid health
- stress levels
- psychosocial support
- genetics
Some women unfortunately suffer from debilitating symptoms including hot flashes, fatigue, mood issues, painful cycles and migraines to name a few.
Naturopathy is well-placed to improve a woman’s experience by assessing the contributing factors for her symptoms and working on resolving or rebalancing those aspects.
Herbal medicine can provide wonderful relief along with targeted nutraceutical therapy, dietary and lifestyle interventions. These can be implemented alongside, or instead of, menopausal hormone therapy (MHT).
Mould Illness
Mould exposure can lead to Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) in some people causing a range of symptoms including:
- chronic fatigue
- “brain fog”
- joint and muscle pain
- headaches
- vertigo
- skin issues
- gut symptoms
- sinus congestion
- chronic cough
- POTS
Often the people who are profoundly affected by mould illness already have immune system challenges, ineffective detoxification mechanisms, genetic polymorphisms, pre-existing chronic disease, or allergies.
Naturopathy explores which aspects are relevant for that person. Treatment can involve: identifying and removing environmental exposures (always crucial); supporting liver detoxification; strengthening the immune system; improving gut health; binding and removing mycotoxins; reducing inflammation; and addressing biofilms if required.
Diagnostic testing can be helpful to determine specific toxins present or to assess impacts within body systems.
Naturopathy works on these core principles:
- First, do no harm to the patient
- Nature possesses healing powers & our bodies have an innate ability to heal
- Identify and treat the underlying cause of illness, not just the symptoms
- Educate the patient so they can have agency over their health and wellness
- Treat the whole body, including the mind
